Affairs Of the wabasf.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Receiver Cooley, of the
Wabash road, returned to-day from St Louis,
where he had conference with the officials of
the system west of the Mississippi river. Ami
cable arrangements were arrived at regarding a
division of the rolling stock, and also in regard
to Interchange of traffic. It has been agreed
that through rates shall be made between the
eastern and western terminals Of the old sys-
tenn. to be divided in proportions now estab-
agreed upon later. The question Of divisions in
pool percentages were not discussed, being too
complicated matter to be settled off hand.
The lines east of the Mississippi river in charge
of Judge Cooley will be known as the Wabash
Railway Company, while those west will retain
the old title of Wabash, ST. Louis & Pacific.
